Shared Copilot agent rules and guidelines for RouterHub projects

AI Security Review

scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Automatic installation changes the consumer project's package-manager configuration and writes AI-agent instruction and skill directories. It also creates a review-suppression instruction for those generated files.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing the package runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

The package can impose and shield broad agent instructions in every consuming project, while making future dependency lifecycle execution more persistent.

Mechanism

Postinstall mutation of consumer AI-agent and package-manager control surfaces.

Policy narrative

On installation, postinstall locates the consumer project, modifies .npmrc to favor repeated lifecycle execution, and invokes merge.js there. The merger writes Copilot instructions, Claude skills, PR templates, and potentially agent instruction files into the consumer project. It additionally creates a Copilot review instruction that directs review to skip all of those generated control files. These unconsented install-time changes affect broad AI-agent control surfaces and reduce review visibility.

AI rationale

This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of a consumer project's broad AI-agent control surface, compounded by lifecycle-enabling .npmrc changes and review suppression. The lack of observed exfiltration does not neutralize this install-hook abuse.
